Mermaid of the Year 🧜‍♀️ | The Story Behind the Song – Nauti Siren

🧜‍♀️ Behind the music: Mermaid Of The Yea What does it mean to be Mermaid of the Year? Taking you behind the music to explore the inspiration and meaning of “Mermaid of the Year” — a song about freedom, the power of nature, and our deep connection to the sea. Inspired by magical moments in the ocean, from the beaches of Brazil to the Mediterranean, the song celebrates the wild, mysterious beauty of the water, the joy of being alive, and the feeling of belonging to something greater than ourselves. It’s about surrendering to the waves, embracing the unknown, celebrating our strength, and passing that love of the natural world on to our children. Part ocean adventure, part celebration of life, and part mermaid manifesto — a reminder that we come from nature, we belong to nature, and we have a responsibility to protect it. 🌊 “I come from the waves, and I’ll return again.” 🎶 “Mermaid of the Year” From the album “Rising” Pull off my clothes ‘cos you know I’ll go farther Way out to sea I’ll be swimming On the horizon You know I’m winning out there Governor of the sea says I’m mermaid of the year Ahh You could not drag me below ‘Cos I come from the depths And I go with the flow Ahh With just one wave of my arm My mama knocks you out And you’re out on your own I will dip my feet underwater Times are a changing It’s getting hotter I will put my hand on the table Knowing I got this I’m willing… Vamos a la playa Where the seashells are calling my name I come from the waves And I’ll return again At la playa Where the people so happy and free We bathe in the sun And we're livin’ the dream You can catch a big fish Sea of possibilities Anywhere you go You’ll be shining to do your thing Come on there I’m gonna pick trash off the sand I’m gonna return to sub-land I'm gonna swim out late at night Nobody can stop me In the night when I ride out I’ve been carried Way out to sea I’ve been trapped Like a unicorn The moon is kissing the breeze I don’t now what's below me Swimming in stars so holy Ahh you could not drag me away It’s the darkness I turn to The place where I play Ahh You know that I’m winning out here Governor of the sea says I’m mermaid of the year Vamos a la playa Where the seashells are calling my name I come from the waves And I’ll return again At la playa Where the people so happy and free We bathe in the sun And we're living the dream White foam like a birthday cake Everything to celebrate Wading in the water with my daughters We'll be alright Come with me We're gonna have a big sand fight We're gonna make a castle right We're gonna swim into the light Poseidon is calling Vamos a la playa So here we go Vamos a la playa Nam Myoho Renge Kyo Vamos a la playa Oh oh oh oh oh CREDITS Written and Produced by Dmitry Brill and Tobias Reigel Vocals and Lyrics by Jessie Evans Additional Guitars by Tyler Pope Subscribe for more Behind the Music stories, original songs, live performances, and remixes from Nauti Siren. #NautiSiren #MermaidOfTheYear #BehindTheMusic #JessieEvans #RisingAlbum #OceanLove #Songwriting #IndependentMusic
